new user-option sort-numberic-base can be used to specify a default
numeric base.

+** Changes to Ange-ftp
+
+*** Ange-ftp allows you to specify of a port number in remote file
names cleanly. It is appended to the host name, separated by a hash
sign, e.g. `/foo@bar.org#666:mumble'. (This syntax comes from EFS.)
+*** If the new user-option `ange-ftp-try-passive-mode' is set, passive
+ftp mode will be used if the ftp client supports that.
+
** Shell script mode changes.
Shell script mode (sh-script) can now indent scripts for shells
When you add a new item, please add it without either +++ or ---
so I will know I still need to look at it -- rms.
+** The new function `string-to-syntax' can be used to translate syntax
+specificationa in string form as accepted my `modify-syntax-entry' to
+the cons-cell form that is used for the values of the `syntax-table'
+text property, and in `font-lock-syntactic-keywords'.
+
+Example:
+
+ (string-to-syntax "()")
+ => (4 . 41)
+
** Emacs' reader supports CL read syntax for integers in bases
other than 10.
